Today is all about getting you my loyal readers (please exist) to help me out with a decision that weighs on my mind. And knitting (it is What’s on Your Needles Wednesday). But first, Haiku:
As you may or may not know Wendy is giving away an iPod to the person who writes the best summer themed Haiku. She decided to do this right after I got out of Creative Writing (i.e. I still know how to write poetry). The only problem is that I’ve written too many Haiku (we’re limited to one) and I need your help to choose my best Haiku. There’s a poll at the end of this post and I’ll enter whichever haiku has the most votes on Thursday evening!
Haiku # 1
Humid hours hang
Over oppressed offices
To torture totally.
Haiku#2
Diet coke with lime
tastes better in summer heat
like tropical treat
Haiku # 3
sweat glistened fingers
can’t manage knitting needles
not to mention wool
Haiku #4
I will be a child
as long as I can still jump
splash! Into the pool.
Haiku #5
Sleeping in till noon
through seven hours of sunlight
only in summer.
In Knitting…
Since I do still knit (not often enough, but I’m working on that) I thought I’d have a little WOYNW action today.
These are my Hedera socks, enjoying the sunshine we’re having today (I was outside today, I pulled weeds and then knit for a while). They are from Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sock on Size 0 Knit Picks metal DPNs, and are technically a Mother’s Day gift (they’re late), but I am so close to the toe that I can smell it, so I’m doing ok.
Good luck I hope you get it!!!
Your Hedera’s look awesome!
And just so you don’t think I’m a stalker, I found you through some old articles in the Chum. And I’m an Ole;)
